Our Cat has Nine Lives

DECEMBER 14 — Update

Hello friends. Sorry for the delay in posting. We are trying to keep Caitlin stable so that she is ready for transplant. Yesterday was hard as there were a few setbacks but we are sitting by her side. Jess is here. Please send all of the love and positive intention possible.

Rest assured that Caitlin and all of you are in my thoughts, along with all of us in the FPG, at this trying time. I appreciate the courage and determination that it takes for you to keep everyone informed as you have been doing these past couple of weeks. I think I now understand where Caitlin gets her spunk!

Maryanne-
I hope you, Nick, Caitlin, and Andrew feel all the love, thoughts and positive energy from back in New England. So many people are praying for your strength and a perfect pair of lungs for Caitlin. #caitlinstrong

I sent Bob as a messenger of our love for you, I think he afraid Nick would not want him to go, so I said , you’ve got 2 options: either you get on that plane or I will. Sometimes you have to get tough with these men of ours ! Love to all

Hello Maryanne, Nick & Andy
What is the Geographical area that Caitlyn can get transplant lungs from?
Is it the area she is from, New England, or the Mid-Atlantic area where her medical center is. I was as spooked as you were to hear from your blog that even though Caitlyn is the sickest person in the US needing lungs she doesn’t get first dibs across the whole US! The only way outside her area is a direct donation or if Dr outside her area doesn’t have a need for the offered lungs for their patients. It is more than controversial I’d call absurd!
